As part of the Japan Festival, we have a series of film screenings
lined up – first, 'Her Mother’ by director Yoshinori Sato, 31October
at India Habitat Centre in association with Dharamshala International Film
Festival (DIFF). Next we have the Akira Kurosawa Retrospective with four of his
most famous works, screened from the 2-5 November at India Habitat Centre. And
finally we have the Japanese Film Festival, a six day film festival screening
15 contemporary Japanese films at PVR Sangam (please find the Japanese Film
Festival schedule attached).

We would love specially invite your club to join
us for the screenings. In case you are coming in a group, it would be great if
you could let me know the number of people joining us from your end so that we
can reserve that many seats for you.

All
events are absolutely free. The Japanese Film Festival, however,
has a particular registration process since the audience will get PVR
tickets
for each film. It will be very helpful for us if you could kindly send
the number of people attending for each of the film screenings at the
Japanese Film Festival and we will
register for you.

Here are the links to the Facebook pages for further details about the
programmes:

outsides are the minefields. The rising population inside many reserves

reserves into the adjoining forested lands. With increasing development
pressures on the forest corridors outside, the spilling out tigers are coming
into constant conflict with humans with alarming consequences for both.
The myopic vision of the tiger planers in India has begun to bite back.
The
director traversed India, in search of these beleaguered tigers. Made
over 4 years, the film reports from distant corners of India, the
